date and origin. The party then entered the Church, and after 
examining the architectural features had the windows fully 
explained to them by the Sexton, or Curator of the Church. 
These windows can now be studied at home by the excellent 
drawings published by the Arundel Society, with careful descrip- 
tions of them by the late Rev. G. G. Joyce, formerly vicar of 
Stratbfield-Saye. On leaving the Church the party partook of a 
good luncheon provided at the principal inn, and after looking 
through the cheerful and neat little town of Fairford—interesting 
not only for its Church and past history, but as the birth-place 
also of the poet and divine, John Keble—they rejoined their 
break and returned to Cirencester, where some time was spent in 
the examination of the noble Church, with its side chapels and 
extensive porch or purvise. The party then visited the Museum 
of Roman Antiquities, which contains the tine pavements found 
on the site of the ancient Roman Corinium. These are well 
depicted and described in the “ Illustrations of Roman Art,” by 
Professor Buckman and C. H. Newmarsh, Esq., 1850. They 
were unfortunately prevented seeing the ancient Roman amphi- 
theatre, commonly called the ‘“‘ Bull Ring,” owing to the gate being 
locked, and the key not to be found before the evening closed in 
upon them. The party returned to Bath by an evening train, 
having spent a very interesting day, and examined one of the 
best preserved monuments of medieval art in Britain. The 
following is Mr. Scarth’s paper :— 
FAIRFORD AND ITS CHURCH, WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF THE 
FAMILY OF TAME. 
Fairford has been well chosen as a spot to be visited by the Bath 
Field Club. It possesses obiects of especial interest, and has of late 
years attracted the attention which it deserves. 
At Fairford has been found the ancient Saxon Cemetery, described 
by Mr. Wylie in his book on the “ Fairford Graves.”* Here has been
